When markets get uncomfortable, most investors panic—but experienced investors start paying closer attention.

In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse breaks down why periods of economic uncertainty often create the greatest opportunities in multifamily real estate. While many investors are focused on rising interest rates, inflation, and market volatility, institutional capital is quietly preparing to deploy.

Dan explains how today's market reset is exposing weak debt structures, poor underwriting, and overleveraged operators—creating a wave of distressed selling across the multifamily space. He also shares why volatility is not the same as permanent loss, and how disciplined investors use these periods to position themselves for long-term wealth creation.

You'll learn why liquidity matters, how institutional investors think during downturns, and what smart operators are doing right now to take advantage of the current cycle. From debt strategy to conservative underwriting and market selection, this episode highlights what separates investors who survive from those who scale.

If you want to understand how major wealth is built during uncertain times—and how to think like institutional capital—this episode breaks it down clearly.
